Velodyne Lidar-sensoren Power GeoSLAM’s oplossingen voor gegevensvastlegging

SAN JOSE, Californië – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Velodyne Lidar, Inc. kondigde vandaag een meerjarige verkoopovereenkomst aan met GeoSLAM, een wereldmarktleider in 3D-georuimtelijke technologieoplossingen. GeoSLAM gebruikt Velodyne lidarsensoren in zijn ZEB-HORIZON mobiele scanner die 3D-kaarten biedt van binnen-, ondergrondse en moeilijk toegankelijke omgevingen zonder de noodzaak van GPS.

Velodyne’s Puck LITE ™ -sensoren stellen GeoSLAM-systemen in staat om gegevensverzameling van ingewikkelde metingen tot op 100 meter afstand te bereiken, wat snelle resultaten oplevert die tijd en geld kunnen besparen. ZEB-HORIZON richt zich op een breed scala aan oplossingen, waaronder gebouwinformatiemodellering (BIM), constructie, onroerend goed, landmeetkunde en mijnbouw. In een innovatieve toepassing brengen onderzoekers van Virginia Tech een slagveld uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog naar klaslokalen en musea met ZEB-HORIZON-mapping als onderdeel van een virtual reality-ervaring. GeoSLAM-scanners worden ook door Entropy Group ingezet om K-12-scholen in de Verenigde Staten in kaart te brengen om eerstehulpverleners gedetailleerde plattegronden te bieden in noodsituaties.

“Door met Velodyne samen te werken, zijn nieuwe mogelijkheden ontstaan ​​voor het verzamelen van georuimtelijke gegevens, waardoor bedrijven de wereld om hen heen kunnen vastleggen, verwerken en begrijpen”, zegt Darren Burford, Chief Revenue Officer, GeoSLAM. “We hebben Velodyne-sensoren gecombineerd met ons robuuste SLAM-algoritme om een ​​gebruiksvriendelijk mobiel product te creëren dat in realtime 3D-puntenwolken kan genereren.”

Velodyne’s Puck LITE™ sensors enable GeoSLAM systems to achieve data capture of intricate measurements from up to 100 meters away, delivering rapid results that can save time and money. ZEB-HORIZON addresses a wide variety of solutions, including building information modeling (BIM), construction, real estate, surveying and mining. In an innovative application, Virginia Tech researchers are bringing a World War I battlefield to classrooms and museums with ZEB-HORIZON mapping as part of a virtual reality experience. GeoSLAM scanners are also being deployed by Entropy Group to map K-12 schools in the United States to provide first responders with detailed floor plans in emergency situations.

“Working with Velodyne has opened up new possibilities for collecting geospatial data, allowing companies to capture, process and understand the world around them,” said Darren Burford, Chief Revenue Officer, GeoSLAM. “We combined Velodyne sensors with our robust SLAM algorithm to create an easy-to-use mobile product that can generate 3D point clouds in real time.”

“GeoSLAM is helping companies transform their businesses with go-anywhere 3D mapping solutions that enable fast data collection in a variety of environments,” said Erich Smidt, Executive Director Europe, Velodyne Lidar. “Their solutions demonstrate how Velodyne sensors can help decision makers create digital twins – digital replicas of physical structures and other areas of interest – that have great accuracy and detail.”

Velodyne Puck LITE sensors deliver a high-resolution image to measure and analyze indoor, outdoor and underground environments. Designed for applications that require a sensor with a low weight and compact size, the Puck LITE delivers outstanding resolution and performance for UAV/drone, handheld and vehicle applications. It provides a full 360-degree environmental view to deliver real-time 3D data.
